All: Lord God, in the light of your glory we see the evil we have done, the suffering we have caused, the good we have refused, and the truth we have denied. Heal us of our sin, wash us in your mercy, and feed us with your grace, that we may be people of hope. Amen. 

Assurance of Pardon:
Liturgist: God’s promises are trustworthy and true. Be at peace to serve the Lord and live as people of hope. In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven.
